Depressionis a common but serious illness and can range from temporary to disabling. Depression is caused by a number of outlying factors including, but not limited to genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors and also varies in frequency, severity, and duration. Some signs and symptoms of depression can be:

Loss of interest in activities or hobbies that were once pleasurable

Fatigue and decreased energy

Irritability, frustration, or restlessness

Feelings of guilt, helplessness, or hopelessness

Persistent sadness, anxiousness, or "empty" feelings.

Insomnia or excessive sleeping

Appetite loss or overeating

Thoughts of suicide (suicide is now responsible for more deaths per year than vehicle accidents in the U.S.!)

Aches, pains, headaches, or digestive issues that do not go away with conventional treatment.

The float experience can help assist those with signs of depression, by causing our brains to produce neurohormones known as "endorphins". The name endorphin comes from the word "endogenous" (from within) and "morphine" (morphine being a pain killer). These endorphins are our bodies natural painkiller and responsible for feelings of euphoria, enhanced pleasure, and suppression of emotional and physical pain.After one hour in the float tank, you may find yourself smiling at strangers or opting for a hug over a handshake.
